SAGE - Phone photo to store optimization plan, powered by AI

by•
SAGE is an AI merchandiser for independent retail stores. Snap a phone photo of your shelves, and SAGE scores your layout against 1,000+ rules -- telling you what to move, where, and why, with revenue impact estimates. Built for stores that can't afford enterprise planogram software. Free tier includes compliance checking, Google Shopping feeds, and 10 scans/month. Pro adds daily action plans, analytics, and an audio-guided Store Walk. One photo. Real recommendations. No consultants needed.

Hey PH! I'm Robbie, solo founder of SAGE. I started this because I watched independent store owners -- record shops, bookstores, hardware stores -- lose customers to chains not because their products were worse, but because Google literally didn't know they existed. Chains feed Google structured product data. Indie stores show up as a bare map pin. The enterprise tools that solve this (Blue Yonder, SymphonyAI) cost six figures. A bookstore owner can't afford that. So I built SAGE to give every indie store the same shelf intelligence that Walmart has, starting from a phone photo. The hardest part was making computer vision work in real stores -- bad lighting, cluttered shelves, angled shots. I ended up building a multi-stage detection pipeline that fuses results from multiple models. The second hardest part was making the scoring respect context -- "put expensive items at eye level" is useless advice for a record store where customers come to dig through crates. SAGE is live at scoreyourstore.org. Free tier is genuinely free (compliance checking is always free). I'd love your feedback on anything -- the product, the positioning, the pricing. Happy to answer any questions about the tech or the journey.
